Tama is the hero they needed. What a timely save. Feels like Tsukiko is going to get targete a lot this season.

Not going to lie, Senya is a badass. It feels like he got stronger this season over the time period. I got no doubt he will improve more.

Glad to see Tama again for a short while. She's good at bringing the cast together. Hopefully, we will get the full crew back together one day. Also, I did like Loli Tama but her new look does suit her a lot; she looks so cute.

White Fox coming in clutch with the camera angles as well.

SHAKUGAN could be saved?? Oh man, I want nothing more than to see my baby again.

The Mountain goddess remains as terrifying as ever. I feel like she still can't be trusted.

I feel bad for Senya for having to use his power when he doesn't want to, but clearly, something is up with that "group of five" the mad god mentioned. Great episode.

For any MindaRyn fans out there or people who liked the first OP, rejoice as she'll sing an insert song in episode 5. If machine translation has gotten this right, the name of the song is "Sekidei" (Red Mud) (Japanese: 「赤泥」(セキデイ)). Lyrics are written by Sachiko, who also wrote the lyrics to the first OP. Song will be composed by Evan Call.

OH MY GOD TIMESKIP TAMA DESIGN, MOMMY. 😭 so good having her back in the story, but she left as soon as she arrived ugh. I guess this cour is truly going to be all about Senya and Shinsuke and they don’t want to detract from that at all. Praying the day comes again when the original squad are reunited 🙏🏾

“She really idolises you, how did you trick her” no because really how did Tsukiko come to adore and respect Shinsuke so much? Dude is so irresponsible as we saw later in the episode lol. But we finally got the backstory about what happened to Senya and Shinsuke and why they ended up in Tsukiko village. It’s all the mountain goddess’ fault eh?

While part of me hates that Shinsuke couldn’t see the deal thru and have the mountain goddess restore Shakugan, I also know she would never want him to allow a kid to be killed just to save her. Tbf the Mountain Goddess was also way too kill happy with Senya, he did just get unsealed and his dad is sealed away still, he was understandably upset. The inner hero in Shinsuke couldn’t just let him die. Launching trees as rockets is crazy though 😂

I hate that the Tama/Dragon fight got off screened so Shinsuke and the others could escape. That would’ve been so hype, but I guess they’re saving the full extent of Tama new powers for later

Shinsuke getting drunk in broad daylight and leaving the kids to deliver mail for him in a massive city like Kyoto is crazy 😭 please never let him have kids. Senya starting to regain his memories slowly is interesting. I wonder how he’ll feel about Shinsuke afterwards. I mean tbf he did save his life twice even before his memories got wiped

Respect for the mad god who showed up and even gave Senya a warning before the fight so they could fight in an abandoned area. She was clearly a victim of some mind manipulation. At least she can finally rest in peace. . Poor senya is all down on himself about fighting and killing her, but sometimes there truly is no other choice. It’s not an inherently evil or bad thing to fight

“I’d love to tell you but there’s no time lol it’ll have to wait until next time” yo who the hell was the guy at the end lmao that got meta there. Can’t wait for next episode to find out

Yeah the cliffhanger is breaking the fourth wall a little bit.

Can Tama tame that dragon boy? She already has experience taming Jinka.

I have quite a few kanji dictionaries, translation tools etc but no native Japanese skills. I get a 50/50 split between sekidei and akadoro. But my instincts say sekidei is right, just sounds more natural.

I just used google translate's romanization for (セキデイ)so it could be wrong.

せきでい is certainly sekidei, but I thought you may have started with the kanji which can go 2 ways depending on kunyomi or onyomi readings. Because it’s 2 separate kanji I originally assumed kunyomi, akadori, the Japanese pronunciation yet sekidei is the Chinese reading. But that makes sense too as there is no following kana. It’s like harakiri and seppuku are two ways to read the same kanji and both are valid. All a bit confusing, I wish a proper Japanese speaker would explain it!

@Marinate1016 I know, right? What a way to throw yet another kind of cliffhanger at us. LOL

This show has slowly become my fav this season. (given i had been let down by most of the shows this season)
Seems like the story is going to discuss more heavy topic as the story goes on.
I like how the theme is getting darker and mc slowly falls into depression.
Can't wait to see how Senya grows.

Sadly idk why this type of hidden gem shows barely has any viewers.
if the source was not already popular/ localized prior to anime release (like Spy Family/ Jujutsu), often time no-one will watch it when anime comes out.

Nice to see Tama again, but why is she leaving if their goal is the same.

And yeah that no fight code lasted all of half an episode.

I'm a bit bummed that Tama and the others had to part ways again, but that's okay—she has her own journey, and I'm excited to see her again.

I feel sorry for Senya having to use his power against his will. It’s clear that something is going on with that "group of five" the girl mentioned

Damn i wish Tama stick around with them.
Why she must part away??

Holy shit Shakugan could be saved?
Hopefully Mountain God still holding up the promised after what Shinsuke did to her.

That dude in the end casually breaking the fourth wall LMAO

Tama is back after the considerable timeskip, and now looks a lot more feminine, alongside her illusion katawara, and thankfully Tsukiko is saved by Senya's hands. But Shinsuke sure has a lot of grievances when it came to her disappearance from the Mountain Goddess's place after the rift with the Dangaisyuu, though she can revive Shakugan if he can survive hers and Rinzu's tough training. And it had to be the converge of Senya being tested by the Mountain Goddess that Shinsuke found himself on the mission to find Jinka alongside Senya, and now with Tsukiko and Nau.

It was a short while, but Tama parted ways while Shinsukw and the rest head to the demon city of Kyo to find Raidou Zanzou at the Nijo Gosho, though Senya had an encounter with the mad god discreetly to lead Tsukiko and Nau back to Shinsuke to request help. The mad god in a rather un-demon like Russian doll stature luring Senya to force his powers out. she at least has information on the Group of 5, but perished before she could even say a thing, much less forcing Senya who doesn't want to fight.

The guy that both Shinsuke and Senya met at the end, he has the meta for a 4th wall break to await his introduction next episode, very sensible.

Finally Tama is back! And then not. Shinsuke was a lot more fun in S1; he can’t carry the series. I hope it gets better.

Not just a Tama return but the Mountain Goddess as well, that was a really pleasant surprise. Two of the best characters from last season. I just wish Tama had teased Shinsuke more for old time's sake and hadn't bailed so soon. Felt more like a cameo, but oh well, gotta take what you can get. The resolution with the dragon wasn't quite as epic as I was hoping but no one except Senya is a heavy hitter so I guess that was to be expected.

Finally, Tama is back! Aaaaand she's gone already. Such a shame cause her new design is so cute. I wonder what the point of them splitting up again was. I guess the gang would get too crowded and the focus on the new characters would be lost.

We finally get more context on how Shinsuke ended up in that situation too. That explains it. Still, Senya got amnesia just from 2 rocket trees? Something doesn't add up here. And the mountain goddess has the ability to wake up Shakugan? That doesn't surprise me. Tho I wonder if she's gonna be the one to wake her up after what happened with Shinsuke and her.

Senya kills another mad god. He's realizing that he can't keep avoid fighting. Good for him.

The guy from the cliffhanger has some special vibes. Probably the guy Shinsuke sent a letter to.
